It's a fiesta every day in the Pinata District

LOS ANGELES -- "The party never stops here in the Pinata District. We're open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.," said Christopher Luna, owner of Raquel's Candy N' Confections.

It's unlike anything else in Downtown Los Angeles. A street party blasting your favorite cumbias, filled with shops selling food, candy, and paper-mache figurines. Bienvenidos to the vibrant and beautiful Pinata District.

What originally started as a produce market back in the '80s, has since evolved into a one-stop-shop for theme party supplies for any occasion.

"It's a whole day event when they come here with the whole family. For a kid, it's like picking candy from a candy store - and you're definitely picking a piñata," Raquel's Candy N' Confections employee Maria Hernandez said.

Even in the middle of a pandemic, demand for piñatas continues to soar.

"Tomorrow is my little girl's third birthday party. We're going to try to make it special for her with everything that's going on, but yeah, we're excited, she's excited," said customer José López, who drove from Hollywood to district.
